Why court wedding after traditional marriage? #duplication

OBAGADAFFI:


It like spending 4 years in university and not collecting your certificate, who will even believe you actually went to the school

Traditional wedding without court wedding.

44chux:

Op is 100% wrong. All can be regularised and legally binding.

Just like births & deaths of old, one is required to register the trad marriage at the council office. When u process any doc together as a couple, it can be used in the absence of a registry marriage cert. Even UK & US embassy accept it.

The white wed cert is collected from and returned to the council for filling after the wedding(form-e 1st schedule). Apart from the customization of church name and branch, etc printed on it, it looks similar to the registry cert. The church collect it as a booklet. Duringthe ceremony u sign 3 copies, one for you, the church, and the registrg

Finally, the registry marriage cert albeit most important, is the simplest of all. Its just a generic form where 2 people fill with 2 witnesses that they agree to the marriage. The witnesses don't need to be family members except one of the candidate is a minor. Even the venue can be anywhere and filled by hand by a minister or registrar

The 3 of them become legal once they are hand written into the marriage register with no and date. People can even back date their wedding by years if they are ready to pay. The clerk just goes to a day in that month that has space in the register and manually writes it in.

If Op was legally married, he would have known.

Sunnynwa:


That's the mistake people make due to ignorance. You get a certificate for traditional marriage which is recognised anywhere.

Ask me how if you want to know more.

nope I reject that notion...it a continual indirect mental destruction of even thing African by the whites as per their way are better and more civilized
this same set of white imperialist want us to drop our traditional marriages.to court one ,this same set of person want us to marry off gay and lesbian couple ....in the court cos gay couple can never be married traditionally in ibo or Yoruba land or islamically in northern Nigeria

for over a thousand year traditional marriage have been a success ,metamorphosis into stable families and well brought up kids
u have failed to provide statistic that showed us only those that where married in court that had successful marriage
traditional and other form of marriage have various avenue to settle unforeseen dispute that might arises through the wise counsel of elders,kinsmen which is more effective than a court judge he might not fundamentally understand and comprehend our tradtion ,way and customs
imagine a Yoruba judge trying to give judgment on a case of marital between ibo
or a hausa man muslim married to an Yoruba women and marries another woman as second wivfe

African traditional allow for an African man to be polygamous officially or unofficially but the European claim they are monogamous
the economic situation in Nigeria and Africa has made us advocate for a one wife one husband and 3 kids family as in indirectly directed by the white
but any African man that achieved huge economic success can married as many wives as his income and the future of the kids is guaranteed
atiku, mko ,ado bayero,obansanjo have several wive and kids without any beggerin on the street
MARRIAGE IS MARRIAGE ....COURT,MOSQUE ,SHRINE,AGRREMENT ETC WHICH SUCCESS OR FAILURE DEPENDS ON THE PARTICIPANT

tok2008:

But why are you giving yourself all these stress?
Even if not for the sake of faithfulness,at least for the sake of your children and wife in case you leave them with enough to take care of them and some wicked family members will want to cheat them out of these things,the legal binding wil come to play.

goodmorning40:
What about protection of the man right what If it is the woman that wake up one day and say she doesn't like his face any more

Toks2008:
It is no longer news that tradition is the opium of the people and no one is contending that.

But when it comes to marriage,while some believe that without paying of bride price,the man can not be said to be married to a lady and some believe that without the white wedding,a marriage can not be said to have received GOD's blessings.

Well i'm not here to discus on that aspect of marriage and i had to drop this quick one as a result of the mentioned i got on a thread relating to this.

[size=13pt]I am not sorry to write this...

Any married lady who never had a legal wedding otherwise called Court or registry wedding is as good as single.Quote me anywhere in the world.[/size]


And this is very true for some reasons but i will mention a few.

1. He can not just wake up one day and say he does not like your face again and send you out of your matrimonial home.
2. He dares not marry another wife except he divorces you
3. He must have a valid reason for divorcing you and must be able to convince the court.
4. You have protection under the law for yourself and your child(ren) in case he dies

I can continue to list several other reasons but let me just stop here.If you like, say you trust your husband,he loves you,he can never treat you bad..O.Y.O lo wa.

If you like let the man spend 1billion on your traditional wedding and do a white,blue,green,indigo wedding with a trillion naira. The fact is that these two ceremonies combined with all the money spent is not as binding and constitutional as a simple court wedding with just 4 people in attendance.

Unfortunately we have seen many people getting away with bad acts despite the fact that they had a legal wedding but the reason is because the affected individual usually lets go without putting up a fight due to high cost of legal battle and no thanks to parents and family members who always preach to them that "what is yours will always stay with you" and that they should let go which i see as stories for the gods.

Ladies be wise..as an endangered specie in the cruel world of men,legal wedding was specifically created to protect more of the lady's marital right so take advantage of it or ignore at your own risk.

I will stop here.

DifferentBoy1:


so what then happens to white and traditional weddings?

mukhcech:


Please if you are Muslim reading this, kindly Disregard that post from a single toddler trapped in the body of a woman yet forming a man. Islam already protects the right of both MAN and WOMAN. if you dont know ask me.

Sunnynwa:


When you do not know a thing, you ask questions.

There are three types of marriages recognised under Nigerian laws. They are;

1.) Marriage under the Act.
2.) Marriage under Customary laws (Traditional marriage)
3.) Marriage under Islamic laws.


[/b]For traditional marriage, once the marriage is done, you go to a customary court or LGA headquarters within the area where the wedding was done and register the marriage within 60 days of the wedding. [/b]You will be issued with a certificate of registration of marriage. That certificate is legal and recognised by law.

OBAGADAFFI:


Isn't that the same certificate the Op is talking about?

Read the post you quoted again, i mentioned the court issued certificate .

So what's your argument now.
